Ride Height Question
My '92 Coupe measures 27 5/8" at the top of both the front and rear wheel wells. I've owned this one since new, and the suspension has never been modified.
My '95 Coupe measures 27" in the front and 27 5/8" at the rear. Is this the stock ride height in the front? It actually looks better than the '92 so I was thinking of lowering the rear 5/8" to match.
All you guys who have lowered your rear suspension - how much did you lower it?

The '92 could have worn spring cushions or a weak spring making it lower in the rear.
I did just the rear lowering a few months ago, it did not take long. If I remember correctly I compared the new bolts to the old and went about five threads different. This was about 5/8-3/4" lower, taking a lot of the rake out. It's easy to adjust.

My 95 coupe measures 27 1/2 front stock and 27 1/2 rear now after lowering it.
My recent new addition low mile 96 coupe measures 27 5/8 front and 28 1/4 rear stock with 1/4 tank of fuel. Rear is soon to be lowered to 27 5/8 though and re-aligned. Bolt kits are in hand.
I would think 27 front and rear would be pretty sweet for an even nicer stance and appearance.
